Remington 1/2 Frame Parkers

[Bill Murphy]

Dean, what are the exact choke constrictions and bore measurements of your 28 gauge skeet gun? I also have a 28 skeet gun with no choke markings. The reason mine does not have a Skeet In and Skeet Out marking is probably because it is true cylinder bore and the skeet markings would be incorrect. I suspect the reason your 28 skeet does not have the In and Out marking would be that it is not choked Skeet In and Skeet Out, but some other combination.

Actually Bill, I’m moose hunting in northern Maine just east of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway and when I’m home next week I’ll measure the chokes again. But if memory serves me, the left barrel is like .007” and the right barrel is like .015” or numbers very close to those. It is a 1936 production gun.

Robert, if you post this gun for sale on the forum, forum rules dictate that you must also post a price with it.

Are there any forum rules about making NO comments about the item unless it is directly to buy the item?

Post edited. Thanks

One... This forum is not for selling guns.
Two... you did post this as a duplicate in the proper "for sale" section.
Three, however, you are completely unrealistic and basically skirting the rules by putting that outlandish valuation on it and asking for offers. It is no different than posting no price and asking for offers, which is what you originally did.

You MUST certainly have some idea of the value of the gun. If so, then put an actual asking price on it. Have you actually spoke to any auction houses to get estimates? If so, and you are wanting to avoid paying fees, just base your asking price on the estimates. I can certainly understand not wanting to leave money on the table, but if you are really concerned about that, then send it to auction, then give the auction house 20% of the sale price.

Mr. Dudley, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand the importance of keeping posts in the proper sections, and I’ll be mindful of that as I revise my listing and keep it current.

On valuation, my perspective reflects both auction estimates and private sales. While opinions will differ, my intent was not to skirt rules but to continue the dialogue with members who had already expressed interest in the gun here.

I respect the role of auction houses and the fees they charge, yet I also believe there is room for transparent private transactions. My goal is simply to see the firearm placed with the right steward without its worth being overlooked.

I value candid input, even when expressed directly, and I’ll take your points under advisement as I move forward.

Post revised. Thanks

Mr. Dudley, I’ve had the chance to look through some of the examples of your restocking work in your profile, and I have to say they are truly gorgeous pieces of art. The craftsmanship speaks for itself.

I was curious whether you ever take on LC Smith projects — specifically a 12‑gauge Field Grade. It’s a gun I’d like to see properly stewarded for the long term, and your work seems exactly the kind of artistry that could honor it.

Please PM me with any additional information for LC Smith stocks. Thanks
